Question

Why is this Black Code?

“No African-Americans or freedman shall be permitted to preach. … to congregations of colored people without a special permission from the mayor or president of the board of police”

Answer 1

This is considered a Black Code because it created restriction of African- Americans on what they could and could not do. In this cause, while African Americans were allowed to preach it was possible through the permission of the county and to other people of color.
